Re: legal age
The legal age to consent to sex in TX is 17 years of age.
I would want to see the girl's drivers license and or birth certificate before engaging in any sexual relations.
Having sex with someone under 17 is a second degree felony and is punishable anywhere from 2-20 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine and registering as a sex offender for life.
This is serious!!!
Be careful because no girl is worth going to prison for.
